Hi all,
I've had a significant update to Live Preview in the pipeline for a while
now. It brings a few major improvements, the most important of it being
able to load resourceloader modules that the preview requires, fixing a
whole slew of problems that the old implementation had. The only place
where it is a bit limited is with regard for previewing the list of
languages in in skins other than vector.
The code is here:

And it could use some user testing and review.
Some people have been asking me about this lately, so I figured time to
strip the WIP tag of it and see if we can get this merged already.
Long term, I would like to improve it to make use of mw.template for some
of the elements, but that is not a necessity right now I think.

I love that you're working on this. :)
I was one of the people who asked you about the overall feature recently,
as I'd put together some notes at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Live_preview (now with
many improvements/additions by Cacycle)
I've just added an (empty) column in the feature-comparison table, for your
updated version. Possibly you could fill out the ?s, if you think that page
might be helpful to anyone.
I'll be happy with anything that improves the standard option, and/or
anything that gets the developers of the independent usersscripts to
collaborate.
